Osmanthus x burkwoodii
A 5' shrub with small evergreen foliage. The leaves are dark green and matte not shiny and the white flowers will cover the plants in early spring. Osmanthus burkwoodii is an easy grower in the Northwest, California and the South.
Very fragrant, tubular white flowers appear in profuse clusters in mid and late spring. Glossy dark green, 2" long, oval, toothed leaves appear on a dense and rounded shrub. Rarely has fruit.
Fragrant white flowers spring, Evergreen. Easily pruned for formal look or to manage size. Zones 7-9.
Handsome broad-leaved evergreen in the Olive family. Moderate growing shrub with deep green leaves and in April profuse white fragrant flowers. Impervious to cold in our climate and tolerant of drought when established. To 8' and as wide in as many years. Prune after blooming has ended. Blooms on the previous seasons wood. A nice limbed up small tree or hedge, no disease, always looks good.(Formerly Osmarea x burkwoodii).
This hybrid osmanthus is the toughest of the bunch, an evergreen shrub, to 6-8 ft tall and wide, with long, finely tooth, shiny, leaves and, in late spring, white flowers that are intensely fragrant. Makes an excellent backbone shrub for sun to part shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established and accepting of summer water. Easy in the garden and reliably hardy, to -10F, USDA zone 6.
Easy to grow, evergreen shrub with bright green foliage and small, fragrant, white flowers in spring. Will make a terrific evergreen, medium sized hedge. This is a hybrid between Osmanthus delavayi and O. decorus, and is also known as Osmerea burkwoodii.
Fragrant white flowers in early spring against glossy dark green leaves. Great for a screen or hedge. Growth to 8 ft tall and wide, but takes shaping very well.
